What is Family Welfare?

• Steps for development of wellbeings of a family as of they can maintain a family with peace and love.

• In response to our phenomenal population growth,india seriously took up an effective family planning program which was renamed as family welfare programmes.

• It however has taken several decades to become effective.• At the global level by the year 2000,600 million , or 57% of women in the

reproductive age group , were using some method of contraception.• However the use of contraceptive measures is higher in developed

countries-68% -lower in developing countries-55%.• Female sterilization is the most popular method of contraception In

developing countries at present.

• Informing the public about various contraceptive measures that are available is of primary importance.

• It must be done affectively by Government agencies such as health and family welfare, as well as education and extension workers.

• It is of great importance for policy makers and elected representatives of people-Ministers ,MPs ,MLAs at central and state Levels-to understand the great and urgent need to support family welfare.

• The media must keep people informed about the need to limit family size and the ill effects of growing population on the worlds resources.

• The greatest challenge the world faces is how to supply its exploding human population with the resources it needs.

• It is evident that without controlling human numbers, the earths resources will be rapidly exhausted.

• In addition, economically advanced countries and rich people in poorer countries uses more resources than they need.

• Energy use is growing both due to an increasing population ,and a more energy hungry lifestyle that increasingly uses consumer goods that require larger amounts of energy for their production, packaging, and transportation.

• Our growing population also adds enormous amount of waste.

• With all these linkages between population growth and the environment, Family Welfare Programs have become critical to human existence.

• The most effective measure is the couple once they been offered all the various options that are available.

• The Family Welfare Program advocates a variety of measures to control population.

• Permanent methods are done by a minor surgery.• Tubectomy in females is done by tying the tubes that carry the ovum to

the uterus.• Vasectomy is done by the tubes that carry the sperm.• Both are very simple procedures,done under local anesthesia,are painless

and doesn’t have post operative problems.

• There are several methods of temporary birth control.• There are also traditional but less reliable methods of contraception.

Methods Of Sterilization• India’s Family welfare program has been fairly successful but still needs to

be achieved to stabilize over population.
